Happy Demise

Question of the day: Are great people the product of suffering?

Have you ever felt so happy in life that you just want to freeze and stop morning from arriving?
It has been some time since I have felt that way. It lingers in my memory like a familiar scent that reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on. Everyone wants to be so in love that they have that, "never want this moment to end, swept off my feet, can't see the ground" smile on my face 24/7. The kind of love where you forget all your worries and when something goes wrong it just doesn't matter. The kind of love that makes you want to be a better person for someone else.

On a separate note... When people are suffering, usually due to some form of loss, it forces us to face different emotions. Emotions that we are able to ignore when we are happy. It allows us to think about the deeper things in life. And it pushes us to become stronger people. It also allows us to appreciate a good thing when we see it. Have you heard the phrase, "you don't know a good thing till it's gone"? We take things for granted when we're happy. When certain aspects are taken away from our lives, we appreciate what we had and what we still have left.

So having said all that:

Would you rather feel only happiness all of your life and never have the chance to suffer

or suffer some throughout your life but with no guarantee of happiness?
